Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Gillingham could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Gillingham in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
